One of the scariest things that ever happened to me on a
bike was near the end of a ride at Cuyamaca (now closed due
to wildfires last fall).

Last stretch is a long, fun downhill, and right at a
clearing a HUGE FREAKING BUCK came sprinting across the
trail about 10 feet in front of me. No doubt in my mind it
would have killed me if we'd collided (zero chance to
prepare; came out of nowhere)...
